Talbots reviews

Low pay, high expectations. Poor work life balance. Not a great deal of positive feedback but told at length what was incorrect. Very frustrating.

Pay Hours Pressure to sell store CC I have no idea what is going on with this company, but hours are being cut left and right. I've been here for a little under a year, I used to have around 20-22 hours now I am cut down to 10 hours a week if I'm lucky. Apparently it keeps coming down from the "higher ups" that we have to keep cutting. They started a Clienteling Program, but if you opt out you are considered "support" and get less hours. I was prepared for that, but when they started slashing even more because of overspending on payroll I was shocked. We are losing associates left and right because they cannot get by on the hours, even if they have a 2nd part-time job. I don't know how they expect to run a store on only managers and a few client specialists. They are losing good people, but alas, it's about the money and always will be.
